Hebrews 11:6 (NASB)
And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
“without faith”
Faith in God, faith in the goodness of God. Faith in the goodness and love of God pointed to each and every one of us personally.
Than with this faith, one must come to God and believe that He will reward them and that He will reward them personally.
It is having this faith in God that pleases Him, that expects to receive from Him.
For God wants to bless, wants to bring forth good things in the lives of those that would believe, trust and put their faith in His heart of love and goodness towards them.
To the end that their hearts can prove what He has said;
“that He is a rewarder of those that seek Him.”
For God waits to prove Himself in our lives. He wants to be found, wants to be known. Wants to be trusted, believed and hoped in. He wants His love toward us to be found, felt, known, trusted and experienced.
For God, as He says of Himself, is a rewarder of those that seek Him. But those that seek Him can and will only find Him where He is to be found, and that is in righteousness. For this is where He waits, for this is the only place He can bless, is to those willing to walk in righteousness. For God is good and can only do the good and the right thing. For it is the heart willing to walk in all the righteousness it sees, is the heart that will know, find, experience God. Will prove that God is and is a rewarder of those that seek Him.
This is the God who desires to be found.
This God who has called us to Himself, can and will only be found by the heart that would have Him. By the heart that hungers and thirsts after having such a relationship with Him. Which is only and always found by the seeking heart living up to the standard to which it has obtained, with the desire that it might obtain more.
For the heart that does seek, shall find. The heart that does ask, shall receive, the heart that does knock, to that heart, the door will be opened.
But the heart needs to be seeking.
It is to this seeking heart goes the smile of God. This is that that brings the peace, joy and contentment in God. The knowing you are pleasing to Him. The lightness of heart, the lightness of spirit, the burden has been lifted. Though outwardly all might be falling apart, all might be a disaster after human reasonings. All might be contrary to what you might want. But inwardly all is at rest, all is at peace. For you know whom you have believed, hoped and put your trust in. For He is good, and you have come to know by experience that this goodness is pointed towards you.
“let God be true and every man a liar”.
The freedom and joy that such a truth brings.
For God is in whom our hope is to be in. In this good God alone. To see the goodness of God in the land of the living is our hope, our joy, our reward.
To see His goodness towards you personally, to taste and see the goodness of His love poured out towards you, to experience His love towards you. For we have a personal God who is interested in each and every one of us personally.
To the seeking heart goes all these good things. To the heart that will not let Him go till He blesses that heart. To this seeking heart goes the smile of the one we would have smile on us..
Blessings to all that would want His smile, Not me
